Game Review: Mass Effect Infiltrator for iPad and iPhone

Next story in Tech and gadgets

With the science fiction epic adventure "Mass Effect 3" recently
released for game consoles, Electronic Arts wanted iPad and
iPhone owners to get in on the action with their own adventure.
The result is "Mass Effect Infiltrator," a space shooting
adventure that pits a lone agent against the group he formerly
worked for.

You control Randall Ezno, a well-armed soldier who turns on his
longtime employer Cerberus when he finds out what kind of
experiments they’re performing at their base. He sets out to stop
them, wielding a number of weapons that include assault rifles
and a neon-lit Omniblade.

The game has two modes when it comes to action. The first
involves movement, as you direct Ezno around the battlefield,
occasionally taking cover from incoming fire and plotting your
next move. The second part has you tapping on a target that
appears on the screen, then using the controls for pinpoint
shooting. It’s here that players are bound to get the most joy
out of the game, killing off enemies with utmost precision.

Finding a comfort zone between the two types of gameplay takes a
little while, since they’re so different. However, once you get
into it, you’ll find "Mass Effect Infiltrator" to be a rewarding
game experience, and a lot of fun. It also pays you back for your
efforts, with in-game currency that can be used to purchase
better weapons and additional “biotic” powers, such as an
improved Omniblade.

"Mass Effect" is stunning in its presentation — spreading across
30 different levels, both indoor and out. The animations are
impressive, especially when Ezno stabs someone up close, throwing
their body to the ground.

" Mass
Effect Infiltrator " delivers a fair share of enjoyment
for the $10 price tag. You can save the galaxy without leaving
the comfort of your living room.
